Gas Prices tip? Coming doom!?

So today I went to 7/11 for some Gas and the clerk told me to fill up before Sunday because he expects a 70 to 80 cents spike...

Here in Texas that would be over 4 dollars a gallon.... He told me because I always go there so I guess it was a friendly tip.... I asked him why? He said theres many reasons, one was the election outcome...

Is there doom coming? I mean gas stations do get Intel on gas prices spikes before everyone else right?

here in new york, it was 4.05 before the storm, 4.25 the day after the storm and yesterday it was 4.50. its rising everyday and people keep paying it, no one is saying anything about the damn price here

Ya I feel your pain bro. Hope all works out for you and everyone suffering.

It happened here in California - and it happened EXTREMELY fast. Its almost back down to $3.89 area like it was before we ran out of 'summer blend' - but it seriously went up to $4.75 a gallon in 2 days - and over $5.00 a gallon at some stations but you could still shop around to keep it under $5.00 a gallon if you had enough gas and a computer. No joke - if this happens it will happen FAST. Thanks for the post OP.

It’s because the dollar gains a large portion of its support from oil sales globally through Petrodollar sales/utilization.They will start the heavy war mongering again to inflate the price of oil to help support the dollar artificially.

I was hearing the rumors of gas spiking last night so on my way home I was shocked to see the price at my local station had dropped .09, as I approached the counter the girl told me I should fill up (I go there daily and wasn't getting gas) Because they'd been told that morning to expect a huge increase by the end of the week.

A cashier at a gas station doesn't know anything, but ringing up shit.

That is not true., Everyday we got the sheets that told us the price changes for the day to make, and they also listed the nest 2 days! The only was it was posted different than the sheet was if the bosses called us.
